CEA Sponsorships

Coral Edge Adventures works closely with Paleo Quest to support our scientific
endeavors. The owners, Jim and Joe Murray, and their staff provide
technical training, planning support for research efforts, as well as
air, gear and repairs.

Through
their support,Paleo Quest has expanded its research capacity and
technical expertise. In the past two years, the technical and material
support provided by Coral Edge Adventures has resulted in the recovery
of hundreds of fossil specimens, including many fossils that likely
represent species unknown to science. Among these new fossils is a
collection of over 30 bones representing two new species and a new genus
that will be featured in a publication by a Smithsonian scientist (and
co-authored by Paleo Quest scientists). Stay tuned for the release of
the paper as part of the Calvert Volume, edited by
Stephen Godfrey (Summer, 2013).

Paleo
Quest and Coral Edge Adventures are currently exploring the possibility
of establishing a quick response technical dive team capable of
identifying and rescuing submerged fossils threatened by commercial
activity in the Maryland and Virginia area.

Paleo Quest in the news with their "brewing for science literacy":
"We swabbed whale bones we found while diving 30ft in black water swamps along the Atlantic Coastal Plain", states Jason Osborne, co-founder of Paleo Quest, a non-profit dedicated to advancing paleontology and geology.
